Rebirth: Solely Cherished by the Devoted Commander

Yuan Bing laughed and said, "Why do you look at me like that? I'm not some unforgivable villain who would harm your child."

Bai Fanglan thought, if you really did, I'd thank you.

Two people with such a relationship ended up going to the hospital together. And it was Yuan Bing who paid for everything.

He was indeed attracted to Bai Fanglan's beauty.

In the past, he had slept with those lowly women, rarely finding one who wasn't just plain and vulgar. Of course, he didn't want to let go; after all, he did have some money at hand for now and didn't mind spending it.

Another important reason was Bai Fanglan's background. Currently, he was just a foreman without any real status, but if he established a connection with someone in the military, who knows what opportunities might come in the future!

Despite Bai Fanglan not being much, she was surrounded by soldiers, and they seemed to hold quite some ranks.

Yuan Bing, with these thoughts, decided to help Bai Fanglan.

Bai Fanglan didn't feel much right now, anyway, her life was already in a mess, so she wasn't too worried it could get worse. If it was broken, let it break. She was even able to walk together with the man who had bullied her before and let him help with the hospital visit.

The doctor said she and the child had caught a cold and needed IV drips at the hospital.

After Yuan Bing paid and saw that both she and the child were hooked up to drips, he went out to buy some food and then said, "I have to go now. Call me if you need anything, I promise to help if I can." He handed a business card to Bai Fanglan.

Bai Fanglan didn't even look at it and was about to tear it up when Yuan Bing stopped her: "Don't do that! Everyone needs help at some point in life. Even if I'm not of much use, I can help with some rough work. Just keep it. Tear it after I've left, if you want. I'm leaving now." With that, he left.

Bai Fanglan held the business card, which had "Hongda Construction" written on it. She curled her lips, the name sounded grand, but it was just a small construction team! After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to tear it and put it away.

Bai Fanglan was really exhausted and quickly fell asleep after closing her eyes.

When the IV was done, she took her child and went home on the bus.

The child curled up in the blanket, still coughing a bit, but was much better. Bai Fanglan looked at her child and felt a pang of irritation, she wasn't pretty at all, why couldn't she just die!

She now felt she was in an extremely contradictory state, on one hand worried when she got sick, on the other secretly wishing the child would just die!

Bai Fanglan knew her emotions were problematic, but she couldn't stop herself from thinking this way.

By the time she got home, it was already afternoon, and almost dark.

Bai Chuan saw her coming back with the child and hurried over: "What happened?"

"Grandpa, I want a divorce." Bai Fanglan suddenly blurted out.

Bai Chuan was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Do you think your marriage is a game? You just got the marriage license and are about to get married, and now you're making a scene. Don't you want to live a good life?"

Bai Fanglan sat on the sofa holding the child, tears flowing down: "I really can't go on with Battalion Commander Zhao! He hasn't contributed a penny, I'm doing all the wedding preparations myself, I'm sick, the child's sick, he doesn't care."

"He's a soldier..."

"When his parents, siblings have issues, he can take leave, but when I'm about to die of sickness, he doesn't care. We haven't even formally started living together; he's already neglecting us this way, what good would marriage bring? I'm just his housemaid managing things for him! Even maids get paid, I'm worse off than a maid!" Bai Fanglan cried, "I really regret it, I shouldn't have rushed to get myself married to a cold-hearted man like that."

Bai Chuan also felt sorry for his granddaughter but firmly disagreed: "This is your second marriage, if you make a fuss, it'll be a third one. What's your reputation going to be if this gets out?"

"I don't care! Anyway, I don't want to be with Battalion Commander Zhao anymore!" She took the child back to the room, crying as she walked, why is it so hard for women? One wrong step leads to many!

She regretted it, she shouldn't have been so arrogant, always wanting to be better than others. Now she's in this situation, and Sun Chan must be laughing at her.

Bai Chuan sighed deeply, distressed, and picked up the phone to call Battalion Commander Zhao.

Battalion Commander Zhao answered and listened to Bai Chuan. He was also anxious: "I didn't mean to ask for too much leave for family stuff, I really couldn't help it, I'm very worried about Bai Fanglan."

"Worried? Saying it doesn't mean you're worried. Bai Fanglan had a fever and had to take the sick child to the hospital herself, and you didn't even make a call. Is it because the child isn't yours, you don't want to care?"

"No, I really didn't have the time..."

"Battalion Commander Zhao, Bai Fanglan doesn't want to be with you anymore. You're all about your own family, both emotionally and materially, you can't help Bai Fanglan. Are you planning to live the next decades like this? Not giving a penny, not caring about anything, is this what being a husband is? Although Bai Fanglan has no parents since childhood, I've always spoiled her. Marrying you is already a huge compromise. You better think it over, if this continues, I won't accept it. Perhaps you two should hold off on the wedding. Wait a bit." Bai Chuan hung up the phone.

Somehow, they need Battalion Commander Zhao to change his mindset. Otherwise, there's no point in getting married.

Battalion Commander Zhao was anxious too; he knew he was putting Bai Fanglan through too much. But his family situation was like that, what else could he do? He couldn't just live a comfortable life while leaving his parents, siblings in the village to fend for themselves, could he?

In the days following, Battalion Commander Zhao was a bit absent-minded and hadn't contacted Bai Fanglan. With New Year's approaching, there was still no news. Bai Fanglan just decided not to think about it anymore, whether they get married or not.

She hadn't prepared invitations or arranged a banquet. Was Battalion Commander Zhao counting on her for these things? Might as well just go for a divorce certificate directly.

Who knew a few days before New Year's, news came from the military saying Battalion Commander Zhao was injured.

Bai Fanglan held the phone, feeling as if she were struck by lightning: "What did you say? Broken leg!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander Zhao rolled down a slope to save a young soldier. We hope the family can visit."

In fact, Battalion Commander Zhao could've avoided a severe injury, but he was distracted, and when he noticed the soldier rolling down, it was a bit late, leading to the severe injury. It would take at least three months to recover.

Bai Fanglan suddenly felt irritable and angry. But since the certificate was already obtained, she had no choice but to go. Filled with rage, she headed to the hospital.

No wedding, no one ever cared for her, yet she had to fulfill a wife's duties. Bai Fanglan felt like she could just die.
